Not horrified to hear it at all... You make the mileage you make, and chances are, for the larger percentage of us, it's either not feasible, or not fiscally advantageous to buy a new car or truck that would get better fuel economy.

We're not all here just for the saving the environment war... some of us are still concerned about our pockets, and conserving the best we can with what we already have.

Besides, if you buy a new car, you're already in the hole, both monetarily and environmentally. Hard to break even on the environmental side!

Part of the reason I always get used cars... besides - new car = new car headaches. Old car = fix it, run it into the ground, get another one. No headache, there.
